django-device-notifications
========================

## Before You Start

Read the following tutorial carefully. You should have both `pem` files ready, one for the cert and one for the key.

## Dependencies

1. django
2. python-gcm (https://github.com/geeknam/python-gcm)

## Usage
First, you need to add these constants to your `settings.py`. For example,

```python
INSTALLED_APPS = (
# ... other existing apps
'device_notifications',
)

APN_PASSPHRASE = 'myapncertpassphrase'
APN_DEFAULT_APP_ID = 'app'
```

Store your `cert` and `key` files into the following path:

* certs/ios/production/app-cert.pem
* certs/ios/production/app-key.pem
* certs/ios/development/app-cert.pem
* certs/ios/development/app-key.pem

To ensure your settings is setup correctly, runs these tests:

```bash
python manage.py test device_notifications
```

If all tests pass, setup is done.

Then, you will need a view to let a iOS app register the `device token` for a user. For example,

```python
# views.py

@require_POST
def add_idevice(request):
# ...
# add `development=True` if the iOS app is signed
# with a development (aka, non distribution) certificate
idevice = IDevice(user=recipient, token=token)
idevice.save()
```

Each user may have more than one device.

A push notification message must follow a specific format. You can inspect `device_notification/settings.py` for an example.

Here is an example code to send a push notification:

```python
from device_notifications.settings import IDEVICE_NOTIFICATION_TEMPLATE
from device_notifications.models import IDevice

def send_notification(request):
message = copy.deepcopy(IDEVICE_NOTIFICATION_TEMPLATE)
message['aps']['alert']['body'] = 'Hello iPhone User'
IDevice.objects.filter(user=receipient).send_message(message)
```
